Starter Replacement
My softail custom is hard to start, especially when warm. This problem didn't start until Harley replaced my ECM, which was fried because of a Fuel Pak I moved around to get a Mustang Seat to Fit. Since then I've had no fuel management system. I ordered a Power
commander from Fuel Moto and should have it in a couple days. However, I'm looking at worse case scenareo here.
The Softail manual calls for a special tool, part number 44455 to remove the oil lines from the oil tank. My local dealer doesn't have a listing for it. How do I remove the lines from the oil tank if I need to replace my starter?
Almost forgot: who has the best prices on starters for the 07 FXSTC and should I go with a stock or aftermarket starter. Funds are a big issue.

There are only 2 dealerships in my area and both are owned by the same guy. The next dealership is 4 hours North of me.

There are also 2 chrome oil lines that run to the top of the oil tank. They can't be cut since they are solid all the way the way down. the tank can't be moved out of the way to get to the starter, it has to be removed and can't be removed with those lines attached.

the ecm controls your timing (and fuel ratio on efi models) either one could cause the starter to drag.

Since we are in the topic of removing the starter and oil tank, How do you remove the oil lines without the tool and not damaging the fittings? Or is the tool necessary?
I will be changing my inner primary to chrome and the starter bolts need to come off. But in the process, so does the oil tank.. !!!
